For the past decade, Enterprises have used video to avoid travel. The videoconferencing impact on transportation is such that Scientific American dedicated an article on its effects reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Lately, enterprises have started to revisit how they can leverage video. In a world ruled by the customer experience, they are finding video can fulfill the strategic mission of enabling high-quality, face-to-face, interactions. Balancing self-service and automation Customer Service organizations are continually being asked to improve their operating costs and as a result they are turning to self-service and automation. If these technologies cannot effectively address the modern customer’s desire for convenience, they can often backfire. Consumers can easily become frustrated, feeling stuck dealing with a machine when they really want the personal touch of a real-time interaction. Help required Although consumers can call to get help, long wait times, rigidly scripted processes, and the uncertainty of being able to get to a competent associate are making customers reluctant to use the phone. This trend is striking when looking at a Dimension Data survey of channel preferences by age group that finds while the telephone is the channel of choice for people 35 years and older, it drops to fourth choice for the Millennial generation. Many companies have turned…

The benefits of video conferencing have been well documented, whether creating a more collaborative environment in the workplace or connecting a dispersed work force, an additional key benefit to high-quality, face-to-face communication is the access it provides to services, like healthcare and banking, to those in rural communities. Video banking is certainly seeing an uptick, as financial institutions continue to transform their digital integrity and consider the best ways to serve their communities. As a result, video banking is growing on a global scale, not only providing a more effortless way to bank, but also creating wider access to banking services to those who otherwise may not have them. According to the World Bank, two billion adults worldwide do not have access to formal financial services1. This is why the work that China’s Fujian Rural Credit Cooperative & Rural Commercial Bank is doing to provide Vidyo-powered Virtual Teller Machines (VTMs) to serve over 20 million rural customers is of key importance. Fujian Rural Credit Cooperative & Rural Commercial Bank is the largest financial services provider in China’s Fujian region, and in conjunction with eSOON and Vidyo, are deploying VTMs that provide secure, convenient and instant video banking services to its customers. These services, many of which would have otherwise been…

In our previous post, we discussed the evolving role of video for customer interactions. Let’s explore how Customer Experience leaders are leveraging video. Customer service is becoming transactional A few years ago, the Corporate Executive Board released its research on customer loyalty. Published under the provocative title “Stop Trying to Delight Your Customers”1, it showed that, when it comes to customer service, customers want first and foremost their inquiries or problems to be resolved quickly and easily. It transformed the Customer Experience discipline, introducing the “effortless” imperative. Time became the currency for both buying products and getting service. This consumer expectation met enterprises’ desire for reducing service costs in a perfect storm. Many interactions were turned into transactions, often thanks to self-service. Late 2014, Forrester noted that web self-service had become the most widely used communication channel for customer service, ahead of the agent-assisted voice channel. Not so fast! If self-service brings convenience and speed, it is not the panacea. Indeed, we all have experienced situations where we have a question, cannot find an important piece of information, or simply need confirmation from a person. Good self-service includes the option of getting live assistance. Gartner predicted that by 2017, one-third of all customer service interactions will still require the support…
